Gekisou
激走
Gekisou is an arcade action game released in 1985 by Eastern Corp. The player controls a vehicle racing through courses while avoiding or destroying obstacles and enemies. The game follows a stage-based structure, with each level presenting increasing hazards and faster-paced challenges. Players steer their vehicle, manage speed, and use offensive capabilities to clear the path ahead. The action demands quick reflexes as traffic, barriers, and enemy units appear across the road. Eastern Corp. designed the game around continuous forward momentum, keeping pressure on the player throughout each stage. Scoring is tied to enemies eliminated and distance covered, encouraging aggressive play over passive avoidance.
